Nova Kakhovka is a city in Kakhovka Raion of Kherson Oblast in southern Ukraine, an important port on the east bank of the Dnieper River where it meets the downstream end of the Kakhovka Reservoir. It forms one abutment of the Kakhovskyi Bridge over the Kakhovka Dam and lies just downstream of the source of the North Crimean Canal, which irrigates the Crimean Peninsula. The dam was deliberately destroyed on 6 June 2023, draining the reservoir. The city has been under Russian occupation since February 2022, and its estimated population in 2022 was 44,427.
